Being a keen car photographer I recently made my own car rig and researched multiple threads on here for advice.
I am now on my second stage of my rig and have ordered the proper manfrotto parts.
I thought it would be helpful for others (and me) to have a thread of discussion/advice and photo sharing of car rig shots.
So here was my first rig. I think it must have cost me about £62 in total and is made up of the following parts...
2 x suction pads from B&Q - £9.99 each
1 x aluminium 12ft aerial mast - £12
1 x steel 2m metal pipe - £10
10 x 6mm nuts and bolts - £5
1 x mini tripod - £15
Here is a picture as I was adding an extension piece on (it is now drilled and bolted)...
It was good fun to make and easier than I thought, it easily dismantles and transported in the boot of my car.
Once I made it I was dying to try it out but was on my own, so made do with a couple of trial shots in the back yard lol.
Was limited to the shots I could do alone and kept having to stop the car rolling away lol
Here are the best...
